Abstract
Describes the scheduling problem and JOB, then presents an extensive job shop scheduling session in which a variety of scheduling problems are encountered and overcome using JOB′s interactive scheduling option. The example shows how work orders may be created and scheduled, and the schedules evaluated, all within the framework of the JOB system. By working with typical job shop scheduling opportunities in a realistic though simulated environment, users will better understand the problems job shop schedulers actually face and will be better able to solve them.
